About Me

Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

BACK DOWN THE ROAD 64 YEARS

Here is another great view of the Downie Bros. Circus in 1928, and it looks like another good house. Some of the feature acts presented on the show that year were those of Mexico's Morales Family. I always get a good feeling when I think about my wife's family, the Wilson Family & the Morales Family's very close friendship, that began back in the '20's and continues to this day. I once asked Theresa's daughter Cathy, who was around more than I through the years, if they ever had a little spat, or a time when someone wasn't speaking. She replied, "never"!!!!
